AMAZING CONTRIBUTORS TO THE FIELD

“We have a lot of research that says if a child is in a healthy environment, in a loving environment in which there’s bonding between the parents and the child, where there’s positive interaction, so the child starts ready for school, cognitively ready and socially ready, there’s a high probability that child will succeed in life. If not, there’s a high probability she will not”.....Art Rolnik


"I think the biggest thing a parent can give a child today is resilience — helping them see they have the inner resources to overcome whatever they have to"......T. Berry Brazelton

The Large Family Collection

Jill Murphy writes wonderful stories about real life.  Parents and kids alike can connect with theses stories. The illustration is incredible, full of color and detail. I love them all, but am most fond of Five Minutes Peace, a story of a momma elephant searching for 5 minutes of alone time. I think all mothers can relate to that....

Quote

One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had, nor what my clothes were like, but the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.
